We carry out condensation diagnosis and fixes in Tyldesley and across the M29 area. Condensation forms when warm, humid air meets a cold surface — and a roof lantern is the coldest surface in many kitchens.

Condensation droplets on the inside of roof lantern glass on a cold morning

Is it time for condensation diagnosis and fixes?

  • Water on the inside of the glass on cold mornings, even without rain
  • Black mould at the base of the lantern lining
  • Wet window sills elsewhere in the house too

What usually causes it?

High humidity

Cooking, kettles, showers, drying washing and people all add moisture to the air.

Cold surfaces

Older glass, uninsulated kerbs and un-thermally-broken frames stay cold and collect condensation.

Roof lanterns in Tyldesley

Western and upland parts of the UK get more rain and more wind-driven rain than the east, and that's what finds weak cappings and blocked eaves first. Lanterns here benefit from a check of the bars on the most exposed face and a clear eaves channel before winter.

Urban grime and traffic film dull glass and frames quickly; a clean and seal check makes a tired lantern look and perform much better.

We cover Tyldesley as part of Greater Manchester, about 10 miles from Manchester.

If you're just outside Tyldesley, we also cover Atherton (1 mile), Leigh (2 miles), Walkden (3 miles).

How much should it cost?

Guide price, per visit£145–£495 ex VAT£174–£594 inc VAT

Typical range: £145–£495 ex VAT, which is £174–£594 with VAT, per visit. Towers or scaffold, where needed, are priced into the quote. Your fixed price is confirmed in writing before any work starts.

Do you need permission in England?

In England, like-for-like repairs to a roof lantern don't usually involve building control. A full replacement or a bigger opening is controlled under the Building Regulations 2010, so we set out the route in writing first. Listed buildings need listed building consent from the local council for alterations, and conservation areas can have extra controls; like-for-like repairs are treated differently from changes, so check with the council's conservation officer first.

Condensation diagnosis and fixes in Tyldesley: questions

Yes. We repair lanterns whoever fitted them. If yours is still under the installer's warranty, contact them first so you don't affect it.

Which places near Tyldesley do you cover?

Will new glass stop condensation?

Better glass raises the inner surface temperature and helps, but if the room is very humid, ventilation matters more. We'll tell you which will make the bigger difference.
